OK. N === As for the changes themselves, here are some minor comments I have after glancing over your comments. * 2.4 Leave the FAQ alone. When it is converted to DocBook (my next task * after this) it will be placed in the books/ directory. But we can do * this without needing to do repository copies. You can do anything without repository copies. :) But I think it's better to start with a copied version (even if it's just to overwrite it whole) so we won't lose history. * 4. Fix the Japanese hierarchy * * 4.1 Use the new scheme for ja * * % cp -rp ja ja_JP.eucJP What about the tags? I haven't seen the reply to my mail suggesting we keep the tags here and remove them from the original (to be moved to Attic) versions. Now that I think about it, maybe it's better if we leave dead in the Attic and just rename tags here. What do you think about changing the tags from "release_X_Y_Z" to "RELEASE_X_Y_Z"? This should be a simple sed job on the ,v files. * 6.1 Use the new scheme for zh * * % cp -rp zh zh_TW.Big5 Did I mention that there are actually a few slightly different "Big5"s out there? There are at least two major versions, one from Taiwan and one from Hong Kong. You may want to check with your Chinese friends if they are really happy with that name. To quote from the mule info page: === File: mule, Node: Big5, Prev: ISO2022 restriction, Up: Coding-system Special treatment of Big5 ========================= As far as I know, there's several different codes called Big5. The most famous ones are Big5-ETen and Big5-HKU-form2. Since both of them use a code range 0xa140 - 0xfefe (in each row, columns (second byte) 0x7f - 0xa0 is skipped) and number of characters is more than 13000, it's impossible to treat each of them as a single character-set in the current Mule system. So, Mule treat them in a quite irregular manner as described below: 1. Mule does not treats them as a different character set, but as the same character set called Big5. Caution!! Big5 is a different character set from GB. 2. Mule divides Big5 into two sub-character-sets: 0xa140 - 0xc67e (Level 1) 0xc6a1 - 0xfefe (Level 2) and allocates two leading-chars lc-big5-1 and lc-big5-2 to them. (See character.txt) 3. Usually, each leading-char (or character-set) has unique character category. But lc-big5-1 and lc-big5-2 has the same character category of mnemonic 't'. So, regular expression "\\ct" matches any Big5 (Level 1 and Level 2) characters. (See syntax.txt) 4. If you specify ISO2022 type coding-system on output, Mule converts Big5 code using unofficial final-characters '0' (for Level 1) and ' 1' (for Level 2). 5. You can use either fonts of ETen or HKU for displaying Big5 code. Mule judges which font is used by examining existence of character whose code point is 0xC6A1. If it exists, the font is HKU, else the fonts is ETen. === Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
